Westboro Baptist Church spreads its hate through picketing in our streets, provoking attacks, with abusive language and flag desecration, attempting to create a confrontation. This is not a church, this is a hate group. This is not about protesting, freedom, or God. They are in it for the money and the press; this is a family law firm. They are not a "church." It is a scam. They go after anything that can get them in the news. This is a family of lawyers using this “god hates you” thing to make money. It is time for this scam and the hate to end.
The church has received money from lawsuits and legal fees. For example, they sued the city of Topeka several times in the 1990s(this show has been going on for years). WBC received $16,500, and is pursuing another $100,000, in legal fees for a case won in court. The WBC is considered a nonprofit organization by the federal government, and is therefore exempt from paying taxes!
Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church is shown admitting on camera that her oldest son was born out of wedlock. Hypocritical Phelps-Roper's vocal condemnation on strangers having sexual congress outside of marriage while she herself was guilty of the same. They are NOT what they say they are! THEY ARE NOT A CHURCH!

First off this thing is NOT meant to be a counter to FaceBook's popular LIKE feature. If it were then the designer would have used the term DISLIKE or something very similar. The use of the term ENEMY is purposeful and intended to incite strong emotional responses and not just allow users to engage in small talk based on common dislikes. I’m surprised the apps designer did not use the term HATE but then again it may be too politically incorrect.

This will gain in popularity and before its demise (or death in popularity/use) someone will end up getting hurt all because of some dumb-dumbs inability to act mature and think before acting.

Need proof? Just check out the previous post in which the user is so infuriated by the Westboro Baptist Church’s actions that they are close to do something really stupid, like giving up their freedom and liberty to government, just so as to put an end to an organization the user doesn’t like.
